The King is Here: The Real-Deal Disciple

This last Sunday we jumped back into our Luke series. Alex taught on Luke 8v19-21 and what it means to be a disciple in God’s family.   From Jesus’ words in this passage we glean that we are not disciples in mind only, rather, what we believe will be seen by what we do. The only way to really know if the words of God have been heard is if they are acted upon. Someone whose actions are in congruence with their professed beliefs is a real-deal disciple.   So why do we experience a gap between what we hear and what we do?   We misunderstand the gospel, we get lulled into neutral living, and we begin to play God. These things inevitably lead to a powerless life full of fear. The truth is that we need God. Living with Him as our source is the only way to really live. May God make us courageous hearers and doers of His Word!
